[Android]Upgrading to premium requires reinstall

[Joe]

On upgrading from free to Premium, the android app  still prompts users to upgrade to premium to be able to access unlimited skips or play the previous track. They can't add music to the queue either. Other aspects such as downloading music appear to work.

A clean reinstallation fixes this issue.
